The Harbinger
(The Ancient Mystery
That Holds the Secret of America’s Future)

The word harbinger means: “one that presages or foreshadows
what is to come,” and the author could not have entitled this book more accurately. I feel that every American should read
this work, but at the same time, I must caution you – the theme of it is a
matter of grave concern. In other
words, you may find that, in the above definition, “foreshadows” is the more
adequate word.
This book is one you must read if you love your nation, but
it is going to amaze you, confound you; and, hopefully, cause you to realize
that we Americans are, like the ancient Hebrews were, very close to supreme judgment. The hedge of protection has already
been removed so we can now only conjecture what is ahead. Your concern for your country will grow
as you read about the “nine harbingers of judgment…that appeared in the last
days of ancient Israel and are now appearing in America.”
To say that I was shaken by the similarities this author
itemized as he presented the factual information he has discovered is putting
it mildly. The reader will
absolutely be shocked and fascinated by the affinity of past events to today’s
happenings that this author clearly demonstrates. The connection between Al Qaeda and ancient Assyrians will
make you pause in your reading and contemplate the difference between then and
now – or if there is a significant difference.
The chapters “Eternity” and “The Last Seal” are worth the
reader’s time if he reads nothing else, but you must read the complete
work - and you will not be able to
put it down once you begin. This
is one book you don’t casually toss aside. My hope is that you, like me, will want to warn many others
of the possible upcoming events and will want to pray for our nation often as a
result of the this reading.
In addition, it is my hope that this review is a harbinger
of good reading for you as you delve into this engrossing book. It is written in storybook fashion that
even expresses humor in the midst of its extremely serous message.

dressed stone: the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with
cedars,” Isaiah 9:10
This book is jarring, disturbing, ominous but, strangely, I
enjoyed it more than I can tell you.
